Commit. Complete. Compete.

Why Complete?

Students who complete an associate degree can expect to earn $400,000 more in a lifetime than a high school graduate.

Unemployment for community college graduates is typically 30 percent lower than for high school grads.

New York residents who transfer directly from a SUNY or CUNY two-year college with an associate degree are guaranteed entry to a four-year SUNY college.

The nation needs more college graduates to stay competitive. The United States used to lead the world in the percentage of 25- to 34-year-olds with college degrees. Now it ranks 12th among 36 developed nations.
